Now I see the matchups: Supports and Predictions

Spoiler for Group A:

Supporting: Kobato > Tomoka > Ghutatan > Huang > Yuuki Kataoka > Koromo > Maho (Ro-kyu-bu) > Remon

Predictions: Saki = Kobato (3rd round) / Koromo > Yuuki (Unless Tomoka or even Gasai Yuno ends up being a sniper) / Koromo

Spoiler for Group B:

Supporting: Azusa > Izumi Segawa > Akari > Nazuna > Shinobu > Toki > Tsumiki > Yuno

Predictions: Azusa & Yuno (1st Round) possible snipe attempt from Yuno?
It's likely going to be Toki and Akariin in the group finals / Akari (Going against the odds)

Spoiler for Group C:

Supporting: Toshino > Ku-Ko > Nakagawa Kanon > Asuha/Shiina Mayuri > Lotte

Predictions: I'm guessing Group C will be decided by the 3rd round / Toshino Kyouko

Spoiler for Group D:

Supporting: Madoka Kyouno > Mihoko > Fear/Karuta > Suzu > Tamao

Predictions: Don't think Mihoko will have too much competition on her side. The other side could get interesting. The 2nd round could feature a Hanazawa/Kugimiya/Saki matchup (Karuta/Louise/Touka) / Then there's dual finalist Nagi, Teru (if she can avoid the split trap), and Teru's (non-Saki) opponent Madoka Kyouno (who's series is still current) / Mihoko

Spoiler for Group E:

Supporting: Hinagiku >> Rin Tosaka > Charlotte > Chiaki > Erio/Hiro > Yui Hirasawa/Ayumu > Yuu

Predictions: I trust Hinagiku to reach the group finals (I'm still on the lookout for a Sanya snipe though) / It could end up being Yui Hirasawa/Taiga/Yuu in the second round to determine the other side. Yuu = Hinagiku (could go either way)

Spoiler for Group F:

Supporting: Kuro Matsumi > Karen Araragi > Nyaruko/Nadeko > Ryuuka/Haruna > Eru/Dalian > Ririchiyo/Tooru/Yoshika > Yuuko Kanoe

Predictions: Seems alittle quiet on one side, with a possible second round match between Kirame (Subara) Karen Araragi and Ohana / The other side is insane.
1st round Nyaruko and Nadeko face each other, Tsumugi and Ryuuka were opponents in the 1st preliminaries. Should Ryuuka win, there's the potential for a Saki split with Kuro. (Against Nyaruko, that would be very tough to win against) / Then there's Eru who may not have shown her true potential yet / I say Kuro will break through and win the group

Spoiler for Group G:

Supporting: Ako > Yukiho/Mayoi > Hina Takanashi > Aria > Minami > Yuuko/Ika

Predictions: Looks like Nodoka will get through Aria and maybe Hitagi on her side of the block / Ika could become a sniper against Ako in the second round. If not, then there's Tsukihi Araragi. / Ako (Going against the odds again since she did manage to win against Toshino Kyouko)

Spoiler for Group H:

Supporting: Miu Takanashi > Tsubasa Hanekawa > Shouko > KuroYukiHime > Izumi Akazawa > Elucia > Sora Takanashi > Saki/Nagi/Mio Akiyama

Predictions: On one side, there's Shana, Poplar and Kuroyukihime. I would say Shana on stats alone, but KYH still has a current series which could give her an advantage. / The other side Kana Ikeda (Saki's strongest rep in this group I think) and Sena Kashiwazaki. If Mio Akiyama wins her first two matches, she will await the Kana/Sena winner in round three. / Sena Kashiwazaki
